Hi Mike..

Jerry here N9LYA
I think we spoke before.. I recognize the call.. Getting old and
grey.. Memory not what it used to be.. Only 44 and suffer from "old
Timers" lol.. No Offense to anyone..

MSYS will do TELNET connects and forwarding.. Its in the manual for
V1.18 Just enough info it took me several days to work it out..

Example..
You set DR to the call and port that the BPQ PC is running on and have
it connected to the INEt and no problem.. When I inherited the job of
SYSOP of W9QYQ they forwarded with K9iu over 9600 Baud 440... Well
K9IU went off air.. I was in need of bulls.. For short time til I got
our HF ports installed I used my station at home.. To forward mail in
both directions with another ham with the above setup.. I did not
setup the BPQ side as I had no knowledge of it.. (Still not got a
lot).. But I did setup the MSYS Side..
I can supply msysfwd.def entries that will work.. Or at least did
using BPQ DOS.. 4.08 I think.. But I have no idea how to do the BPQ
side of the internet connection..

... Hi Jerry I think we spoke by way of George W9GWP, i would be interested in seeing the msysfwd.def and the .opt file, i think you are using the Null Modem

Hi Jerry
I think we spoke by way of George W9GWP, i would be interested in
seeing the msysfwd.def and the .opt file, i think you are using the
Null Modem in msys ? I am a bit confused how you are using BPQ for a
TELNET Connection. If you are able to get BPQ to talk with msys you
should be able to use the Port configuration in BPQ as well as AXIP,
something msys really lacked.

Please by all means send a copy of the .def and .opt file maybe
there is still hope for the good old realiable msys.
